Certificate
in Environmental Resource Management
Program Update December 2019: in response to changing industry needs and stakeholder feedback, we are pleased to announce that the Environmental Resource Management certificate (suspended effective June 30, 2021) has been replaced with four NEW specialized certificates
If you are currently enrolled in the ERM certificate program, not to worry. Courses will still be offered until June 2021 to ensure you can complete your program before the suspension takes effect. Please contact the program office at 780−492−5532 or erm@ualberta.ca if you need assistance with course scheduling.
A note about COVID-19 measures
If you see a program on our website announced as an in-person or downtown Edmonton offering, please disregard the format—but not the program. Winter, Spring, and Summer 2021 courses have been converted to remote delivery platforms. Register for a course online or apply to a program via email, and keep learning!
